My ideas on a couple Trivial Technological college spells-

Borrow Charge/TL (A)

Caster, who is touching two one-handed, battery-powered devices, may use one device but have it drain the battery of the other. The maximum amount of power that can be borrowed from the second device is 360 watt-seconds, or 1/1000 of 1 energy if using the standard power to energy conversion.

Duration: 1 minute.
Cost: 1. Cannot be maintained.


Mainly useful to allow someone to use their own smart phone once theirs dies, but only if they would otherwise have access to a second one. Restrictions on total power and the spell not being maintainable should help curb any shenanigans. Probably useful for other devices too.


Quick Lookup/TL (A)

Caster, who must be touching a wired network connection or be in an area with wireless connectivity, may say one term, either a word or short phrase. This spell returns a relevant tidbit of information that can be found quickly on the network. Examples include the name of a file that includes the term, the title of the first search result of that term, or the first sentence of an article about that term.

Duration: Instantaneous.
Cost: 1. Cannot be maintained.
Time to Cast: 5 seconds.


It returns the title of the first Google result or the first sentence of the Wikipedia article, but trying (and failing) to write in the GURPS Magic style is fun. Works on any network- hence it can return filenames or similar, since the Internet doesn't seem like it should be unique when it comes to magic.
